To all whom it may concern/.

Be it known that LWI LIAM HENRY J Aims,

useful Improvements in Stoves; and I dohereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to an improvement in stoves, and is designed more particularly as an improvement on the stove covered by my Patent No. 600,248, granted to me March 8, 1898. U

The patented stove above referred to was designed primarily for burning wood, and the improvements herein disclosed relate to features which especially adapt the stove for burning coal or coke.

My invention consists primarily in a heating-stove comprising an outer jacket, preferably angular in shape and open at the bottom, an inner drum of less diameter than the jacket, closed at its bottom and carrying a ring secured to the inner face thereof, the said ring supporting the lining and a grate, door-frames connecting the jacketand the drum, and a cover for the jacket having hotair openings therein.

My invention further consists .in a stove comprising a sheet-metal jacket angular in cross-section and open at its bottom, a sheetmetal drum of less diameter than the jacket, located within the latter and closed at its bottom, a box-frame connecting the jacket and drum, a sectional cast-metal frame secured to the base and supporting the legs, and a cast-metal top secured to the jacket and covering the upper end of the drum.

My invention further consists in certain details of construction and combinations of parts, as will be more fully described, and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view in elevation of a stove embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a viewin longitudinal vertical section of same. Fig. 3 is a view in cross-section thereof through the fuel-door. Fig. 4 is a view in crosssection through the ash-door. Fig. 5 is a view of the base. Figs. 6 and 6 are views in cross-section of the upper portionof the stove, showinga modified form. Fig. 7 is a View in side elevation of the drum,

and Fig. 8 is a side view thereof.

1 .A represents an outer jacket, preferably square in horizontal cross-section and rectangular longitudinally, open at its bottom and mounted on the legs B, which latter constitute a part of the sectional cast-metal base 0.

This base is composed of four sections a, se-

cured at their adjacent ends to the legs B, whichlatter overlap the ends of the sections a and are preferably ornamented so as to correspond with and form a continuation of the ornamentation of the sections a. The sections at, except the front section, have each an upwardlyprojecting flange 0, adapted to rest within'the lower end of the jacket A, and the legs B are each provided with an. upwardlyprojecting end (1, adapted to rest against the rear face of the jacket at the four corners thereof, and each is secured; to the jacket by anut and bolt, as shown. The base thus constructed may be of any suitable shape and may be ornamented as desired and when in position forms a support for the lower end of the sheet-metal jacket.

Located within the angular jacket A is the innerdrum D. This drum is preferably cy lindrical in shape, with a closed toppa'nd bottom but the portion thereof forming the firepot proper and protected by the lining may be made tapering or funnel-shaped, if desired. In either event the lower end thereof is provided just above the bottom plate with-an opening surrounded by angular frame E, forming the opening for the removal of ashes. The sides and bottom of this angular frame E are integral, respectively, with the body and bottom of the drum, and the top thereof is preferably formed of sheet metal riveted to the body and to the sides of the frame. The outer end of this frame E is provided with an inwardly-turned flange e, which latter rests against the inner face of the front of the jacket and is secured in place by screw-bolts passing through the ash-door frame F, jacket A, flange e, and rectangular cast-metal frame e, which latter rests against the inner face of the flange e, the said bolts being held in place by nuts. The door-frame F carries a door which is provided with a damper for admitting air. This door closes the ash-chamber, which latter is formed by the frame E and the portion of the drum below the grate.

The grate G is supported on the cast-metal ring H, which latter is secured to the inner A face of the drum just above the ash-chamber.

This ring is provided with a series of lugs f, 1 one of which projects horizontally under-the top wall of frame E and is secured thereto by a bolt and nut, while others depend vertically from the ring and are secured to the body of the drum by nuts and bolts. The upper face of the ring is provided with a continuous recess forming a seat for the lining I sections and is also provided with inwardlyprojecting lugs g, forming rests for the grate G, which latter is loosely mounted on the' lugs and can be; turned by passing a shaker or levert'hrough the ash-door and connecting it to the grate in the usual manner.

Formed in the front of the stove, above the ash-door, is the fuel-opening I.

opposite sides of the fuel-openin g in the drum 'and exten'd forwardly to or adjacent to the rear face of the jacket and the two openings. The one in the jacket and the other in the drum are surrounded by the cast-metal box J, which latter extends from the jacket to the" drumandsurro-undsbothopenings,the flanges 1 hon'the drum resting against the inner faces of the sides of the box J. The box J is provided with flange i on its inner end, which rests againsttheouterface of the drum,around the opening therein, and is provided on its outer end with an inwardly-proj ecting flan gej, Z to which the door-frame K is bolted. The box is secured in place by bolts-passing through the inner flange t and the drum,

through the flanges h of the drum and the outer flange of the box.

around and up overthe box.

The door-frame K carries a door having a damper adapted to admit air above the fuel for the purpose of holding a slow fire.

to form a co m parative'ly-large air-space above the-drum, is perforated at its four corners for I the exit of the heated air, and is preferably providedwith a flanged opening for the at- 1 tachment'of a hot-air pipe adapted to convey hot .air toaroom above, and is also prefer-j abl'y provided with an opening madapted to] receive a kettle or other similar utensil. This 5 top Mrests on the top edge of the angular jacket A and is provided with an outer flange her face of the top edge of the jacket.

Flanges h, for-med integral with the drum, are'located on "n, which overlaps the outer top edge of the jacket, and is also provided at its four cor- 11ers and at points intermediate the corners with lugs n which latter rest against the in- This flange and the lugs brace the upper end of the sheet-metal jacket and prevent distortion,

--d-ue to either heat or pressure.

The smoke-flue passes from the drum, near "the top thereof, through the jacket and is provided with a flange for the attachment of the smoke-pipe.

In the modification shown in Figs. 6 and 6 the drumis open at iits'top and is closed by the castrmetal top M, which also serves asa top for the jacket. In this construction the top M is provided with a depending. cir=.. cular flange m, which latter extends down smoke-flue, whereas in the modification the weight of the drum is mainly borne by the top M.

With a stove of this construction the air passes under the lower open edge, of the jacket and rises between the latter and the drum and escapes in a highlyheated conditionthrough the openings in, the. cover and through the hot-air flue to anotherroom.

I make no claim in this. case to an outer angular jacket open at its lowerend and-afirepot or drum closed at its bottom and curvilinear in cross-section, the rfirepot or drum being of less diameter than the shorter diameters of the jacket, thus forming restricted ai-rspaces at diametrically-opposite points intermediate the four corners of the jacket and enlarged air-spaces at the fou-r corners, as such a construction is covered by myP-atent No. 600,2 l8, before referred to. J

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to'secu're by Letters Patent, -is' p M 1. The combination with a stove the body or jacket of'whichis open at itsbottom, of a base composed of sections and legs intermediate the sections, and secured to said sections, the le'gshavin-g upwardly-projecting ends projectinginto the open endof the body g and secured against the inner'faoe of V the The top of the drum is closed and is cov-' ered by'the cast-metal top M of the jacket A. 1 This top M is preferably dome-shaped, so as latter. I

ends of the legs overlapping the lower end of the body and secured to the latter.

4:. The combination with a jacket open at its bottom, an open center base supporting the lower edge of the jacket and a sheet-metal drum located within and supported wholly by the jacket, the said drum being closed at its bottom, of a ring secured to the inner face of the sheet-metal drum and provided with projections, the said ring adapted to support a lining and grate.

5. In a stove, the combination with an outer jacket having an opening in its side, and an open lower end, a base having an open center and forming a support for the lower open end of the jacket, and a cylindrical drum closed at its bottom and supported within and solely by the jacket, the said drum being provided near its bottom with a projecting an gular frame the outer end of which is secured against the inner face of the jacket, around the opening in the side.

6. In a stove, the combination with a jacket open at its bottom, and provided with a fuelopening, a base open in its center and forming a continuous support for the lower edge of the jacket, and a drum closed at its bottom and having a fuel-opening and laterally-projecting flanges at the sides of said opening,- of a box-frame bridging the space between said openings and secured to the inner face of the jacket and outer face of the drum and also to the lateral flanges of the drum, and a door-frame secured to the jacket around the fuel-opening therein.

7. In a stove the combination with a base having an open center, a jacket open at its bottom and resting on the base, and a castmetal top for the jacket, the said top provided with an outer flange resting against the outer face at the top edge of the jacket and lugs resting against the inner face of the jacket at the corners thereof,- of a drum closed at its bottom,- and suspended from the top of the jacket.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribe ing witnesses.
